The Power of We Consortium has established six major goal areas:
- Advance intellectual and social development by nurturing early childhood development, providing top-notch educational opportunities, and engaging youth;
- Build a dynamic, diverse, and vibrant economy that is attractive for entrepreneurs and provides opportunities for all families to be self-sufficient;
- Promote physical and mental health through access to care and environmental improvements that encourage healthy behaviors;
- Keep homes and communities safe by strengthening families and neighborhoods;
- Steward natural resources by embracing “smart growth” principles and using innovative resource management strategies; and
- Strengthen the sense of community cohesion by actively engaging residents in the change process.
Progress toward each of these goals is tracked with 33 indicators of community well-being.
